a few I passed on, and one I didn't, oh Brother!

passed, [ATTACH=CONFIG]439884[/ATTACH] $29, too much, a little odd
[ATTACH=CONFIG]439885[/ATTACH] passed, only $12 though, cog belts underneath, made in GB [ATTACH=CONFIG]439886[/ATTACH] passed, but only $15, thinking a little about one of the cabinets, maybe. and I don't have a Singer removeable cam machine yet... [ATTACH=CONFIG]439887[/ATTACH] I couldn't help it, was the 1st find of the day, I tested sewing with it, so it followed me home for $18. It's a Brother "Prestige" . It's really pretty clean, and seems to work fine, I need to figure out the button holer switch though, which means digging for a manual. Maybe it needs one of those little buttonholder attachement feet to set the length or something?? It's also surprising to me that there is no removable top cover, it's just a paint job. what little there is for levers is behind the selector. |
I am seriously jealous of your thrift stores! All I can find lately are singers from the 70's if there are any at all.

Got any other pictures of the first one?
Those are almost too cheap to pass up, and I would have gone for the second machine, even though the cabinet is missing a drawer, and likely the third one as well. |
I'd have gone for the first one just for the oddity of it. What was the brand?

Wow I wish our thrift stores would have machines.

wow-ours never have anything -you have a great thrift store-congrats on your new baby

I think it was labeled as a Free Westinghouse, it was interesting, sort of, but i need to clear some room to work. soon. before it's too late |

The top cover and side cover are one unit and should be removable as one part. There should be a few screws you need to remove and likely the foot pressure knob on the top.
